Editing

Today we performed two exercises in class - editing essays in the work book. By performing these exercises, we had the opportunity to make some grammer corrections, word inserts, changes, punctuation insertions, basic editing. For me, aside from what we have learned, the significant part of editing is to ensure the flow of the essay continues and the message or point to the essay is easily identified.

  2. Doing the exercises in the workbook made us further understand the techniques of editing. I agree with you. The message of the essay should not be lost once you start editing.
